B Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. Since the sentence is not referring to a specific news report, ‘a news report’ is the correct usage. ‘Old woman’ refers to a singular common noun beginning with a vowel sound (o sound) and thus, ‘an old woman’ is the correct usage. ‘Horn’ refers to a singular common noun beginning with a consonant sound and so, ‘a horn’ is the correct usage. Thus, the correct answer is – ‘There was a news report about an old woman on whose forehead a horn is growing’.
